Hat styles

What style of hat would look good on a short chubby guy?

I have been a ball cap guy since I was a teen, but these days I am thinking of changing my choice of headgear. Been trying to think of what style of hat would look good on me, but I am a complete idiot when it comes to style.

Any of you more stylish types have hat suggestions for the short and round kind of guy?

I can see why you would want to ditch the ball cap, it's hard to remain inconspicuous!

In honor of Billy Childish and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, you should go for a deerstalker...

Fedoras are also nice.

Doc.

Especially for those of us of Italian decent.

The one guy I used to work with always said I should get one.

Some of us latino/italian mutts look strikingly handsome in them!

I have a couple of fedoras someplace, but haven't worn them in a while, I wear some sort of Australian duck cowboy hat (I bought it in Canada when I got caught in the rain) when I do yard work or barbecuing in the rain.

I am follicly (is that a real word?) challenged and usually wear a hat (fedoras and newsboys lately).
Check out The Fedora Lounge (thefedoralounge.com) ...the hat lover's (and vintage lover's) counterpart to CP. My handle there is Bassman.

Seriously...that would be balls-awesome.

I'm usually decked out in a wool driving cap. You may want to try a Panama hat. That will be my next hat purchase. Parting with the money is tough, though.

I suggest a Mortar Board. Everyone will be patting you on the back, buying you drinks and wishing you luck. Plus it makes you look smart.

I think the bowler should be ruled out

I see the problem you're having with the ball cap. It just doesn't help the outfit.

That looks so much like one of my co-workers it is scary. ???

I have a bit of a gut, but nothing like that.

I almost bought a bowler to wear when playing poker.

For when you want to look good.

And for when you want to Cowboy-it-Up

I am fond of the Newsboy style caps- scottish wool plaid and the solid ones made by Kangol. They look good and do not heat up the old noggin like a ball cap :thumbs:

Nothing but Kangols for me. Although, it doesn't have to made by Kangol, but driver caps in general. Ball caps... well, the girls better be drunk, otherwise that's a no-no.

I'd go with the Kangol.
